To enable further expansion and development at Churchill Park, the existing carpark
located inside the sports facility needs to be relocated to the outer perimeter of the facility
with the redevelopment of an existing smaller car park required to cater for the 500 cars
that use the facility. Currently the cars are accessing the facility driving between sports
fields and a shared pedestrian walkway. This is not ideal from a safety perspective.
The car park relocation is the critical stage 1 project in order to deliver a recreational
facility that provides further opportunity towards junior sporting activities.
The Kings Meadows Rivulet Footbridge project has been expanded to include the building
of a public toilet. The project will provide a public toilet for the Kings Meadows Precinct
and create a link to the Kings Meadows Rivulet walkway by constructing a pedestrian
bridge across the rivulet. The toilet addition is to cater to the growing needs of the
community. The rivulet walkway has no link to the open space area and proposed toilet
facility forcing pedestrians to walk through the hotel car park to gain access to Hobart
Road. The pedestrian bridge will provide safer access to 119 Hobart Road and the open
space area.

DECISION STATEMENT:
Council - 26 June 2017 - Agenda Item 8.1 - Construction of a Pedestrian Bridge and
Cyclist Bridge - North Esk River Between 79 Lindsay Street and Seaport Boardwalk
(DA0210/2017)
Workshop - 25 September 2017 - North Bank Bridge Design and Tender Report
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council select the Warren Half-Through Underhang Truss Bridge as the preferred
design submitted as part of the design and construct tender process.
REPORT:
The Council has approved the construction of a pedestrian bridge from North Bank to
Seaport. The tender process involved a design and construction requirement, with the
specification including a baseline design.
The process has produced two alternatives to the baseline design. The alternatives are:
The evaluation of the alternatives has shown there to be minimal difference from a
technical and financial perspective. Thus, the final choice comes down to a judgement
about the 'fit for setting' and the overall aesthetics.
In consultation with Aldermen the preferred option is the Warren Half-Through Underhang
Truss Bridge which is the recommendation.
City of Launceston 28
It is important to note that, for a variety of reasons, getting to this stage in the project has
taken a long time. The funding deed requires the timely completion of the construction.
The Cable Stayed design would require a new development application because of the
height being outside the parameters of the previous development application.
The Truss structure is expected to only require a minor amendment to the development
application (DA0210/2017) as there are two small areas on the bridge deck that are
slightly wider than the baseline design submitted in the development application.
At the 25 September 2017 Workshop Meeting, Aldermen were presented with three design
options that result from the advertised tender for the North Bank Pedestrian Bridge.
At that Meeting the alternative designs were considered, together with advice from the
Tender Assessment Panel as to the relative merits of each of the designs.
Whilst all three designs are predominantly made of steel, the three designs can be
summarised as being represented by three basic design types, these being:
1. A Warren Full-Through Box Truss, similar to that used for small and large railway
bridges;
2. A modified and strengthened Warren Half-Through Underhang Truss, often used for
smaller and medium span pedestrian bridges; and
3. A Cable Stayed style pedestrian bridge that is often used for large span pedestrian
bridges.
In terms of technical and contractual matters associated with the options, there is little to
separate the Warren, Half-Through, Underhang Truss option and the Cable Stayed option.
Given these facts, it is considered that the high profile location, the strategic nature of the
bridge and its juxtaposition to Seaport and North Bank Park, that the final determination of
the bridge comes down to a choice based on the best fit for the location.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
The bridge will contribute to the appeal of the area to visitors and locals alike by reducing
the need for pedestrians to use the Charles Street bridge to access the North Bank park
and thereby contributing to economic activity.

The bridge will contribute to the appeal of the area to visitors and locals alike by reducing
the need for pedestrians to use the Charles Street bridge to access the North Bank park

REPORT:
Background
As Aldermen would be aware, negotiations have been continuing between the University
of Tasmania (UTAS) and the Council regarding the proposal to establish an Inner City
Northern Campus for the University on Council owned land at Inveresk and Willis Street.
The City of Launceston, together with the UTAS, the State Government and TasTAFE,
executed a Memorandum of Understanding expressing the strategic intent of all
signatories to work collaboratively and productively towards the establishment of the Inner
City Campus.
The strategic objectives sought to be achieved by the City of Launceston in engaging with
this inter-generational proposed project included the following:
City of Launceston 33
2. That the proposed project addressed, through course content and structure, the
extremely poor higher education levels experienced within northern Tasmania in a
manner which assisted in providing positive futures for young people in northern
Tasmania.
3. Reflecting that Launceston wears with pride the designation as a University City,
acknowledging that UTAS has a profound influence in the economic and social
prospects of the city.
5. Ensuring that negotiations acknowledge that whilst the Council engages with the
University as a key stakeholder on the Inveresk site, the Council has a Master Plan
Vision for Inveresk as a multi-experience, cultural, sporting, recreational and
educational precinct.
Aldermen would be aware that Council decided to transfer two parcels of land (the old
Velodrome site and the Willis Street site) to the University. As the full extent of the $260m
multi-faceted University Inner City Campus has continued to be developed by the
University in conjunction with other stakeholders, further land parcels have been identified
as integral to the development of the University and the community-faceted facility at
Inveresk.
The Launceston City Deal signed by the Prime Minister, Premier and Mayor on 20 April
2017, has, as a major commitment and centre piece, the University Inner City Campus
project. The City Deal states:
Major Commitments
The $260 million relocation and redevelopment of University of Tasmania's main
Launceston campus to Inveresk is the centrepiece of the City Deal. This is the
largest single infrastructure investment in Launceston's history.
Through the City Deal, all levels of Government will work together with the University
to ensure the new campus also delivers broader benefits to the community, including
a more vibrant city centre, greater support for industry innovation and world class
environmental design.
City of Launceston 34
Within the infrastructure and investment section of the City Deal document, further
reference is made expressing the centrality of the Inner City Campus Project not only to
the City Deal, but also to the future prosperity of the City and region. The following
comments are made:
It will provide the capacity to grow student participation by 10,000 students by 2030,
including more than 1,500 international students, and will eventually house 16,000
students, researchers and staff.
The project will also support local industries by providing new courses in areas of
expected regional jobs growth such as agribusiness and design and technology, and
providing flexible space to enable industry-led research and development.
The new campus will set a high benchmark, with world class water sensitive and
energy efficient design. It will be climate resilient and where possible will use locally
produced and sustainable timber products.
The university campus project complements other commitments to enliven the city, in
particular, the City Heart project, a multimillion dollar investment to improve vibrancy
and commercial activity in the CBD (see section on Liveability and Sustainability).
This will be a major consideration in the design of the new campus. The campus will
support the objectives of the City Heart project by delivering appropriate
infrastructure to improve the flow of students and academic life across the city and by
providing facilities that are available for use by the public. It is also likely that many
students will choose to live off-campus, including within or near to the CBD, further
contributing to the revitalisation of the city heart.
City of Launceston 35
In July 2017, the University of Tasmania released its Inveresk Precinct Master Plan,
entitled Transforming Lives. Transforming Cities. A copy of this document is attached
for the information of Aldermen and is publically available at utas.edu.au/northern-
expansion. The University Master Plan has been the subject of broad-based community
consultation which is nearing a conclusion. It is accurate to state that the Master Plan has
been met with popular support within the community.
The Council has received a briefing report on the outcome of the master planning and the
associated community consultation by the University before considering the asset
exchange proposal, which is integral to the University and the Council realising the broad-
based community benefits from the Inner City Campus Project.
Aldermen will be aware that the Willis Street site is a primary University development
location for a major part of the inner city campus. The University proposes the
establishment of a science and innovation-focussed hub on Willis Street as part of the
overall campus development. The vision also includes the construction of the new
pedestrian and cycling bridge linking the Willis Street site to the Inveresk Precinct.
Critical to the University and Council's thinking has been to undertake development of the
Willis Street site in a manner that did not negatively impact on the National Automobile
Museum of Tasmania (NAMT) operations as a significant tourism attraction in Launceston.
Detailed negotiations have been progressing between the UTAS and NAMT over an
extended period in order to develop a proposal satisfactory to all parties. Aldermen will be
aware that the Council has a lease of its Council-owned land with NAMT that is current.
NAMT, not unreasonably, are not prepared to consider any proposal that may result in an
outcome less advantageous than they currently enjoy.
It is understood that in-principle agreement has been reached between the University,
NAMT and a private developer to relocate NAMT to a purpose-built new facility in Lindsay
Street opposite North Bank and the silos.
Aldermen recently received a deputation from Mr Harry Williscroft and Mr Graeme Pitt on
behalf of NAMT. Mr Williscroft and Mr Pitt expressed strong support for the proposed
move of the automobile museum from Cimitiere Street to Lindsay Street.
The location of the new purpose-built NAMT facility provides a further attraction within a
tourism precinct incorporating the North Bank recreation and leisure area, the Silo Hotel
Complex, the Pedestrian/Bike route linking North Bank and the developed Seaport area,
and with Wayfinding linkages further down Lindsay Street to Inveresk, up the Boardwalk to
Royal Park and Cataract Gorge and into the CBD area. All of these destinations are within
comfortable walking distance.
City of Launceston 36
The University is funding the fixed cost for the construction and land associated with the
NAMT relocation to a purpose-built facility is $4.77m.
It is proposed that the Council transfer the following parcels of land to the University for
educational purposes associated with the Inner City Campus. In exchange, the University
will transfer to the Council, ownership of the purpose-built NAMT building, and land
including car park areas.

University to the City of Launceston
Land and buildings costing $4.77m comprised of a purpose-built new National
Automobile Museum of Tasmania facility, including land involved in car parking.
The cost of the land and building is the amount the University will pay for the development
of the museum on Lindsay Street. The areas referred to above are subject to final survey.
The transfer of sites will enable the delivery of the educational and community outcomes, it
provides the basis for the additional investment by the University in areas such as health
and well-being. The transfer also includes the requirement to ensure the ongoing use for
community and educational purposes.
The linkage of the site with a new pedestrian bridge funded in the relocation project will
enhance public access to the precinct and the events held there.
The assessed value of the land transferred by Council totals $3.565m. The cost of the
asset acquired by the Council is $4.77m. This calculates to a net asset gain to the Council
of $1.205m. The land proposed to be transferred by the Council is not public land. The
legislative provisions relating to the land proposed to be transferred are contained within
section 177 of the Local Government Act 1993:
City of Launceston 37
2. Strategic Objectives
The University Inner City Campus Inveresk Project stands as an exemplar nationally of the
enormously positive outcomes that can be achieved socially and economically in
circumstances where the Federal Government, State Government, Local Government,
University and community coalesce around a strongly held common vision.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
The report sets out the details of the economic benefit that is forecast to result from the
Northern Campus Inner City Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no direct environmental impact. However, the project is expected to improve the
built environment.
City of Launceston 38
SOCIAL IMPACT:
The project is designed to have a dramatic educative, community and social benefit for the
City and the region.
The Northern Campus Inner City Project is expected to have a positive financial impact on
the Council when completed. The financial net effect on the land asset exchange is
positive based on the valuation and cost information.
